Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Honolulu, HI

Welcome — I'm so glad you're here. I'm David Guo, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) serving clients throughout Honolulu and across all of Hawaii via secure telehealth. Whether you're in Downtown Honolulu or on Maui, Molokai, Kauai, or the Big Island, I'm here to support you. I believe real healing starts with real connection. That means taking time to truly know you — your story, your life, your goals — so you never feel like just a chart. You won't feel rushed here. I'm available weekdays (evenings too) and weekends.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and finding the right therapist matters. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood.

Have you noticed patterns in your life keeping you from attaining your goals? My name is Angela and I was born and raised in the Hawaiian islands. I have extensive skills and possess over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I have served as a Behavioral Health specialist, school counselor and Intensive In-Home therapist. My work highlights specialties that include issues related to anxiety, trauma, domestic violence and relationship building. I aim to serve individuals between the ages of 13 and 62 and am happy to be in a field where I can give back to a community that invested so much in me.

Aloha! I am dually licensed as a marriage and family therapist and a mental healthy counselor in the state of Hawaii. I have been in practice for over two decades with experience, in the private sector as well as with active duty and retired military members and their families. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, relationship challenges, and personal growth. My professional background focuses on helping clients address addiction, family dynamics, parenting struggles, and emotional resilience. I bring a compassionate and collaborative approach to therapy, creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for positive change. My work is deeply rooted in understanding the unique story of each person, with a particular sensitivity to the needs of older adults seeking support. I am committed to providing thoughtful, evidence-based guidance that empowers clients to build stronger relationships, overcome personal obstacles, and cultivate greater emotional well-being. I do not judge, nor do I advise, I am eager to support you in your journey to fid you. Mahalo.

Bruised Not Broken Therapy was born out of the lack of Afrocentric based psychotherapy that allowed people of color to embrace their journey of life through the context of color. HIV, substance abuse, mental health and the denial of the experience of being a person of color continues to plague communities of color, as we still have yet to talk about these experiences.
